Japanese dry white wine that pairs well with Japanese cuisine
By fermenting fruit juice slowly at a low temperature, we drew out the rich aroma of the grapes, while the sediment allows it to continue ageing, adding depth and crispness. This dry wine features the characteristic fruity aroma of Koshu grapes and a gentle acidity.
A red wine with a pleasing berry aroma and lingering finish
Not far from the Chikuma River, Sapporo’s own Furusato Vineyard, opened in 1975 in the Asakawa River basin, where lush natural scenery still remains. The Nagano Furusato Vineyard Merlot has an enjoyable scent of berries, coffee and cocoa, with soft tannins and a lingering finish. This is a mild wine with a well-balanced bouquet owing to its barrel-aged fragrance.
A wine made with all of our dedication in the type of land
we have been seeking
Our search for the perfect land and climate for wine grape cultivation brought us to the Azuminoikeda Vineyard. It sits atop a hill with a cool, windy climate an average elevation of 580 meters. Its wine features an aroma that has hints of white plum and boxtree shoots and a satisfying acidity. Its aftertaste, with a bitterness reminiscent of citrus peel, expands pleasantly bringing a fitting sense of completeness.
Uses the highest quality Cabernet Sauvignon from our own vineyards
Not far from the Chikuma River, Sapporo’s own Furusato Vineyard, opened in 1975 in the Asakawa River basin, where lush natural scenery still remains. The Nagano Furusato Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of cassis and raspberry for a bouquet that hints at vanilla and chocolate. Enjoy the perfectly aged fine tannins.
A locally produced Pinot Noir with a clean acidity made in the wonderful town of Yoichi
The grapes from the limited production of the single vineyard at Hirotsu Vineyard in Yoichi, Hokkaido are used to create a charming pinot noir with a unique fruitiness and clean acidity. The highlight of this wine is its gentle tannin and smooth, velvety aftertaste and its fragrance reminiscent of violets or strawberries. It offers a gentle, calming taste of which you will never tire.
A rich mellowness with a soft bouquet
Fully aged Muscat Bailey A are carefully selected from the co-op contract cultivated fields of Ibara, Okayama, and after they are slowly fermented, they are gently juiced and barrel-aged. This wine stands out for its round texture, soft bouquet and robust fruity flavor.
